Detectable antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in newborns from mothers infected with COVID-19 at different gestational ages

Abstract

Maternal antibodies may partially confer protection to neonates from some viral infections1; however, understanding the nature and durability of perinatal humoral immune responses to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is limited.2 In this study, dynamic changes of antibody levels of six newborns born to mothers with corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) were investigated.
